[-- Attachment #1 --] I recentely installed FreeBSD on a PII processor machine (64MB) with a completely dedicated HD. The installation media was ftp. I followed the installation procedure which is suggested for novice users. Every installation step was correct (I think); I downloaded also X-windows basic files, but when I tried to reboot the system it prompted: panic: cannot mount root. I tried to repeat the installation procedure many times, but the result was always the same: panic: cannot mount root. What may I do ? Thank you.
